Sehnsucht

The nine-part photo installation »Yearning« [»Sehnsucht«] by Berlin artist Corinna Rosteck is based on a photo series in which she documented the Tanztheatertheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch’s production »Rough Cut« for spielzeit’europa 2009. In Corinna Rosteck’s latest series selected bodily fragments and the texture and corporeality of cloth which follows their movements and shapes itself accordingly are condensed together into a form which reminds the art historian Michaela Nolte of works of sculpture. In their use of line and drawing-like quality these images make visible the energy and intensity which dance – and particularly that of Pina Bausch’s company – expresses so brilliantly. Their sense of sculptural statement coupled with the blurring of energetic and expressive movement creates a celebration of the moment.
